The XperienCentral Workspace is where you manage the content for your website. The Workspace consists of the Editor in the main part of the workspace and two expandable sidebars, one on the left and one on the right. Along the top of the Workspace is the XperienCentral Configuration menu in the upper left part of the title bar, the Quick Search field, and at the top right the User menu.

The middle part of the Workspace, the Editor, is where you directly interact with your website. Here you can add content elements (images, paragraphs, separators, etc.), rich text and so forth to fill in the content of your website. The Editor is a WYSIWYG representation of the content of your website which means that the appearance of a content item in the Editor is exactly the same as what visitors see on the front-end of your website. This allows you to always see how your web pages, articles, page sections, and so forth look without having to take any further action.

See also Keyboard Shortcuts for operations you can perform in the Workspace using just the keyboardXperienCentral can be used in two different modes: XperienCentral, the base product containing the full set of licensed components and featuring a WYSIWYG rich text editor in the Workspace, and XperienCentral Headless which contains a subset of the full set of licensed components as well as a rich text editor that does not show you a representation of what content items look like when presented on a website frontend.

In XperienCentral, design templates are used to merge the design of a website with the content. The elements on a page, for example, are styled by presentations and are visible as HTML blocks. In XperienCentral Headless, this merging of design and HTML is not performed. Instead, content is delivered in JSON format and no direct styling is performed. To produce the JSON for headless a headless presentation, you must install a special plugin  named "headless-integration". This plugin also contains page and element design templates that produce JSON to allow the content to be accessed by external applications. The following presentations are available in this plugin:

  • Headless Page
  • Headless Download element
  • Headless Image element
  • Headless Content Overview
  • Headless Modular Content Element
  • Headless Page Overview element
  • Headless Table Element

To support canvas text, ensure that the page and elements on the page use the JSON presentation.
